In the Community Learning Centres (CLC) network, we often struggle to explain what we do. That’s because the CLC is like an idea blowing across the province showing up in myriad ways. Here we share the stories so that you can see it and believe it too – CLCs make a huge difference to student engagement and the vitality of English Linguistic Minority communities across Quebec.

Cross-Age Connections

Cross-Age Connections
Chateauguay Valley Regional
Janet Reid

Ms. Reid, a teacher at Chateauguay Valley Regional has developed a project called “cross-age connections” whereby secondary cycle two students perform valuable service in their community as part of their Ethics and Religious Culture course.
Ethics students tutored and mentored grades 1 & 2 students at the local elementary school to help young students "at risk" to develop reading skills.


Another couple of groups of students visited two local senior's homes to develop connections with the resident seniors.


A third set of students remained in the school to work with students in the Learning Centre in whatever capacity they were needed. For example, helping students with projects, reading, social skills, etc.
